Default New years jump?

Could our srt6 cars do it?

They said that car had 400hp but there was a lot of extra weight there too. Hardest part was getting to 90 in 900 feet, and getting back to 0 in 150. I think we could! Obviously we'd need to weight differently so we don't land wrong, but we can handle that.

My family was just talking about it, there really isn't much talent to that sport. He has to get up to 90mph and go off the ramp in the middle. 90mph isn't very fast, definitely a very controllable speed in a car built for it. I honestly don't think there is much of any talent to it other than the talent of being stupid enough to do it.

Anyway. Happy new years!

Rally racing is indeed a sport. If you have ever ridden along when someone is pushing the limits of a car, you know...it is work to keep your body from being broken. Especially without a proper 5-point harness. The amount of core strength needed to do all that...a lot.

The jump however is more a test of engineering and brass *****...

I don't deny that rally racing is a sport, I think it's a pretty awesome one. Never ridden, but I'd love to. Out of my friends, I'm the one that is willing to push a car to the limits.

Like you said though, not much sport in the jumping.
